Chlorophyll distribution by oceanic model and satellite data in the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea
Tóm tắt
An oceanic model and satellite data are used to evaluate the seasonal distribution of chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) and Andaman Sea. Satellite data show high Chl-a concentrations because high Chl-a concentrations reduce CO2 and increase O2 at the sea surface, indicating fish abundance in the ocean. Sample collection alone cannot provide an accurate overview of Chl-a concentration over an entire region. The satellite data concerning Chl-a concentration, phytoplankton absorption coefficient, and Sea Surface Temperature (SST) are from the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) project and from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). The oceanic model is created to give the surface circulation as a result. The research finds that the simulation is in agreement with SST, Chl-a concentration, and phytoplankton absorption coefficients obtained from satellites. The conclusion is that the oceanic model can be used to implicitly explain the seasonal distribution of Chl-a in the Bay of Bengal and Andaman sea.
